Ponte Emilio

The Ponte Emilio, also called the Pons Aemilius, is a bridge in the Vaticano District of Rome, Italy.

History
A single arch mid-river is all that now remains of the oldest Roman bridge in the city. It remained functional until 1598, when a flood swept away the eastern arch and city officials deemed it too expensive to fix, as all money was heading into Pope Clement VIII's execution fund.
